'A THE- MORNING OBEGOSnAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL' 9, 1902. ALL ARE FUSED TOGETHER CLACKAMAS AXTI - REPUBLICANS NAME A TICKET. Democrats Are Largest Contingent, but Fall to Get Tnelr Share of Offices. OREGON CITY, April 8. The largest county convention ever held In Clacka mas County assembled today. It was com posed of Democrats, Populists and Repub licans and represented every recalcitrant element In the county. A full county ticket was- nominated and will be known as the Citizens' ticket. This Is the out come of a movement to fuse all elements dissatisfied with Republican rule and Senator BrownelL The ticket nominated today Is -not con sidered an exceptionally strong one. The Democrats were the leaders in the fusion movement and have the largest following, but they did not receive a majority of the offices, and tonight many expressions of dissatisfaction are heard. The head of the ticket, George "W. Grace, is a business man of Oregon City, who was elected Sheriff six years ago in the Popu list .landslide. He Is a good man, but has had no experience in Legislative mat ters and It is believed that there is no reasonable doubt of State Senator Brownell's re-election. Elmer Dixon, who was nominated for County Judge, was twice elected County Clerk as a Populist, and is at present a deputy In the Clerk's office. County Clerk E. H. Cooper was renominated. He Is a Populist, as Is also County Treasurer A. Luelllng, who re ceived a renomhiation. Representative Gilbert L. Hedges, who two years ago defeated Charles Toole for election to the State Legislature, was a candidate for the nomination of State Senator against Mr. Grace. He received 108 votes and Grace got 1C7. Hedges was then given a place, on the Representative ticket, which was nominated by acclama tion. The other two Legislative candi dates, O. "W. Eastham and Charles P. Clark, are Republicans. The nominee for Sheriff, J. E. Jack, Is at present a -deputy in the office of Sheriff Cooke. L. J2. Grazier,, the nominee for Recorder, is n. Populist. The convention met In Shlvely's Opera House "and was called to order by "V7. W. Jesse, of Barlow, chairman of the Citizens' campaign committee of nine. Harvey Starkweather, of ililwaukle, was made temporary chairman; Lewis Funk, of Viola, temporary secretary, and W. F. Young, of Pleasant Hill, assistant secretary. These officers were afterwards made permanent. The report of the committee on creden tials showed that 296 delegates were on titled to representation in the convention, and over 200 were present in person. The committee on platform. Harvey Starkweather, H. E. Cross, R. Ogden, "W. W. Jesse, H. McGugin, J. S. Birdsall, John Barry, J. E. Hedges and J. F. Clark, made their report, which was adopted. The platform is voluminous and severely condemns tho Republican party of Clackamas County. The following nominations were made: State Senator George "W. Grace, of Ore gon City. Representatives Gilbert L. Hedges, of Canemah; Charles F. Clark, of Clacka mas, and Orange W. Eastham, of Oregoa City. Judge "Elmer Dixon, of Oregon City. Sheriff J. E. Jack, of Marquam. Clerk E. H.

Back Newspapers, Covering; n Period of 31 Years, Destroyed. BAKER CITY. Or., April 8. One of the most serious losses sustained by the proprietors of the Morning Democrat, Sunday night, was the burning of tho bound files of the paper, covering a period of 31 years. The files had been taken, from the vaults for examination by rep-' resentatlves of a Spokane publishing house engaged In preparing a history of Baker County.

Petitions signed by over 1000 persons were presented to the Board of Fish Commissioners today, ask ing that all fishing on the Upper Columbia River be prohibited. Master Fish Warden "Van Dusen was directed to acknowledge receipt of the petitions and to assure the petitioners that the matter will receive early consideration of the board. Since legal questions aro involved, the matter will bo referred to Attorney-General Blackburn for an opinion before any ac tion is taken. The movement was started by the Co lumbia River Fishermen's Protective As sociation, of the Lower Columbia River, which has always been opposed to opera tion of fish wheels in the Columbia River. The petitioners are several In number, CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR FROM MARION COUNTY SALEM, Or., April S. L.

It Is now a certainty that Bennett, the murderer,of the Fuller girl In San Francisco, was in Vancouver. A. B Maxwell, purser of the steamer Mainlander, is sure he had the man on board on a recent trip from this city to Seattle, and since then has received a description of the alleged murderer from, the Bay City. The two men tally exactly. One very peculiar mark was a spot of gray hair among the dark immediately behind one of the cars, which is very un usual, and which was noticed. The man's actions aroused the suspicions of officers of the boat at the time. It Is now thought that Bennett. succeeded In escaping to the Klondike by one of tho many boats which have called north, crowded with Ingoing gold-seekers.- SOLDIERS FOR AFRICA. Canadian Militia Will Enlist 2000 Mn. VANCOUVER, B. C April 8. The ma chinery of the Canadlnn Militia Depart ment wasi set in motion today for enlist ing a contingent of 2000 men for South Africa.

All the contracts for clothing and equipment have been given out. HILL ADMITS IT. tho composing-room and were piled in the corner where the fire originated. The greater portion of the files were burned up entirely, and the rest were so badly damaged that they are practically worth less. The origin of tho fire will never bo known. W. C. Cowglll, tho city edi tor, was the lost person in tho building Sunday night, and ho was working in the front office until 10 o'clock. When he left there was no sign of fire about the building anywhere. The flro was discovered by W. L. Vin cent, who lives next door to the Demo crat office. He smelied tho smoke, which passed down Into the basement of the building and came up Into his apartments. The wind was blowing a gale at the time, and had the fire reached the roof a goodly portion of tho city would have been de stroyed. The machinery of the Democrat Is run by a 'gas engine, which is connected with the city mains by a two-Inch pipe. The gas passes through two rubber bags that were within 20 feet of the fire. Tho heat was so Intense that it destroyed the leather belting on tho linotype machine in the rear of the building, 40 feet away, and the glass lights were broken In both the front and rear by the tho heat, and yet the frail rubber bags withstood tho heat and- prevented the gas from escaping Into the room and causing a conflagration. The damage will not exceed $1000. The loss, except on the files, which cannot be replaced. Is fully covered by Insurance. The paper appeared as usual this morning. Shipment or ore. The North Pole mine has recently shipped 25 tons of ore, said to be valued at $200 per ton. This Is rather low-grade ore for this mine. About three months ago a rich vein of ore. about four inches wide, was encountered that assayed as high as $&100 to $11,800 per ton. Con siderable of this high-grade ore was taken out. Recently It is reported this rich oro streak has widened to about foureet, and. tho average value Is about $1200 Ter ton. Street Fair Tills Afternoon. Tho Chamber of Commerce will com plete arrangements for holding a street fair in this city in September. This fair will take the place of the First District Fair, which, according to law, should be held In this city this year. The state appropriation of $1500 will be available for tliis fair, the commission in charge having agreed to turn the money over to the street-fair committee, on condi tion that it be used to provide for a stock and agricultural exhibit. and come from all sections of tho state where the fishing industry Is followed. Master Warden Van Dusen says the state will this season operate 15 hatcheries for propagation of salmon in different parts of the state. Superintendents of the sev eral hatcheries are being selected by the board. PATROLLING THE RIVER. Fish Commissioner of Washington on Lower Columbia. ASTORIA, April S.

With reference to my Item in the Sunday Oregoman, In which It was stated that "Considerable dissatisfaction was heard on account of the election of W. W. Perclval as chair man of the Polk County Republican Com mittee," Mr. Hayter, of the Observer, a Dallas paper. Bays that the statement is not warranted by the facts. It is true, and Mr. Hayter knows that It Is true; but for some cause he is peculiarly sensi tive on this point. Let this BUffice for the present on that question. I cannot go farther and will not attempt to prove this point, unless I am driven to It, which would Involve the every-day life of Mr. Perclval. But there Is dissatisfaction, and It Is serious for all tho ticket. I hope to drop this disagree able subject After this communication, but let me say to the throe or four men In Dallas that perpetrated this election on the party In this count-: Having commit ted a grave error, do not blame the cor respondent of a newspaper for giving the fact aa to their perfidy, or, may be, ignorance. How and why this election was effected will make spicy reading if It should become necessary to print It. WILLIAM GRANT. IN FAVOR OF CHAMBERLAIN. Douglas County Democrats Pledged to Him.

For Establishing; Non-Mineral Char acter of Lands. WASHINGTON. April 3. A large num ber of miners who are interested In the mineral properties along the Entlat River, in Chelan County, Wash., have received encouragement from the General Land Offico that hearings may be granted toward establishing tho non-mineral char acter of lands to be thrown open. In a letter to Senator Foster, the Com missioner of the General Land Offico says; "Parties having mlnrng claims on the land selected by the railroad company, or knowing the land, to be mineral in character, should file protests in the local Land Office, whereupon, if the allegations are sufficient, a hearing will be ordered at which they may appear and submit testimony if they so desire. In view of the fact that the lands desired withdrawn cover a large area, it .would bo Im practicable to have them examlnedby a special agent of this office. Such an ex amination would of necessity be extremely superficial and the report made thereon would consequently be of but little value. can furnish much better evidence so far as specific details are concerned."

The true tonic will take from the svstem the accumulated waste which it does not need and give it what it does need vitality. The true tonic will cleanse the blood of the impuri- lities which are so productive of boils, pimples, blotches, and other skin eruptions. It will stimu late the sluggish liver, invigorate the heart, and put the whole body in a condition of perfect health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery possesses every requirement of a true tonic. Its blood-purifying properties are notable. It carries out of the blood the particles of effete matter which poison it. It stimulates the liver into new activity and invig orates the heart It promotes a healthy appetite and cures the diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive tract which prevent proper nutrition of the body. Thus it takes away from the body the dead waste which clogs and corrupts it and supplies new vitality through perfect nourishment. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine for spring, because it is the best medicine in any season of .the year for weak, run-down, debilitated men and women. It makes men and women feel like "new" people because it really gives new blood and new Jife. Ever g CM Proved By a twt. Every claim made for Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery is proved not by one cure, but by cures almost innumerable. The proof, if gathered together, would fill volumes and convince the most skeptical that the fame of n Golden Medical Discovery " rests on a solid foundation of actual merit. A few specimen proofs are all the space allows. HAD SPOTS ON THE PAGE "When I commenced taking your Golden Medical Discovery,' I felt so weak and bad could hardly drag around," writes Mrs. Emma West, of Windy, Wirt Co., W. Va. "Face seemed, to be covered, with brown spots, but before I had taken one bottle of your medicine the spots were all gone, and I began to feel like a new person. Took four bottles and have felt well ever since. My husband has also-taken the Golden Medical Discov ery,' for stomach trouble, and it did him more good than anything he ever tried." FEEIS NEW All OVER "For five years I was troubled with liver complaint,,, writes Mr. Hiram A. Severance, of East Washington, New Hampshire (Box 36). "Had no appetite from 1897 to 1900; vomited, every nightj could not sleep. My weight went down from two hundred and forty to one hundred and seventy pounds. I doctored with home doctors, but got no relief. Wrote to Dr. Pierce and at once received an answer, saying my trouble was indigestion, also liver complaint. He advised me -what course to pursue and what medicines to take. I commenced their use June 13th, 1900. Have taken thirteen bottles of Dr. Pierce'3 Golden Medical Discovery and eeven vials of his ' Pleas ant Pellets,' and have Increased in weight from one hun dred and seventy to two hundred and ten pounds. When I commenced Dr. Pierce's medicine, had not done a day's work for a year. Since last November up to the present time November 18th, 1901,) I have worked hard, and I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's medicines. Am well and hearty; eat three good meals a day. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes a man feel new all over; it cures diseases of the stomach, put3 the liver in action and makes pure, rich blood.w ffl SPRiNQ AMES FALL "For twenty years I suffered terrible patu in my back and lower part of my bowels," writes Mrs. Charles Kauff man, of Boonsboro, Md. "I doctored with leading phy sicians in Maryland and Virginia, and only received temporary relief. About two years ago I noticed among the testimonials printed in one of your medical books a statement of a case similar to my own. Concluded at once to write to you. and through your kind advice and ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and 'Pleasant Pellets,' am much improved. Can do as much work aa when I was twenty years old. My husband and I take from two to three bottles of the 'Discovery' and Pellets every spring and fall, and can speak very highly regarding thejbenefit received." "WAS A TQTAl W&EQK." "I was a total wreck could not sleep or eat," writes Mr. J. O. Beers, of Berryman, Crawford Co., Mo, "For two years I tried medicine from doctors but received very little benefit. I lost flesh and strength, was not able to do a good day's work. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical "Discovery, and when I had taken one bottle I could sleep and my appetite was won derfully improved. I have taken -five bottles and am still improving." NEW BLOOD AP23 NEW UFE. nI have recommended Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to many friends," writes Miss Bertha Ebeler, of 1415 Benton Street, St Louis, Mo., "and they all think it will do just what is claimed for it. It is the best thing for nervousness nnd for a weak, run-down condition that anybody would want. I was very nervous and weak last summer. I took five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it just made me feel like a new person. It gives a person new life and new blood.

Our first step Is a thorough examination to ascertain the exact npture of the disorder, after which by a system of carefully directed local treatment we restore the affected part to It3 normal condition, which promptly re sults In full and complete return of power. In erhaps lew than Ave per cent of the cases do we nnd general impoverishment, lack of nervous prgy, or any other con dition or complication requiring constitu-. tlonal treatment. Therefore, we may safely afipert that rot more than one case In twenty can be permanently benefited by the use of tonics, stimulants, electrical or me chanical appliances, and that fully nine teen cases in twenty will be aggravated by such methods qi treatment. Our curc3 are positive, complete, thor ough and permanent, because by our method tho real and only cause of the functional weakness Is totally removed.
